The Bad:
It has potential, but needs a lot of work on the guide section.
No it isn't Tri-Force is too expensive as a core item on Shen. Shen should still build Sunfire and Spirit visage 1 and 2 even vs double AP. You can get Tri if you're ******edly fed but its still a lot of gold to spend on damage.
Trinity Force on shen... yeah too expensive, if you need the move speed and attack bonuses as TOP Shen then try Zephyr, even Blade of the Ruined King has more use on Shen damage wise than Trinity Force. Plus the mana bonus and the slow/speed passive from triforce means little if you get a Rylai's Crystal Scepter's anyways.
As for jungle I am pretty sure I got Boots of Swiftness so neither Zephyr nor Trinity Force had any real merit.
Forgot to mention: as top i grab Ninja Tabi unless top is ap.
EDIT
Just remembered my Average build: Ninja Tabi, Zephyr, Rylai's Crystal Scepter, Warmog's Armor and for final 2 I get Armor and MR
these i pick based on whether the team is lacking in damage or not,
If lacking : Sunfire Aegis Wit's End
If not lacking or must be tankier: Randuin's Omen Spirit Visage
You can always mix it up and get : Sunfire Aegis Spirit Visage or the other two.
But don't listen to these people saying Rylais, Wits end or even trinity force are bad (situational). A plat ranker would say otherwise.
Something that doesn't mesh with shen at all however is Nashor's Tooth(better cdr items), Locket of the Iron Solari (useless active for shen), Thornmail (randuin+ninja are better) and Statikk Shiv (how did this get in the build lol).
Rylai's Crystal Scepter
Abyssal Scepter
Nashor's Tooth
Guinsoo's Rageblade
wat
Again with the Rylai's Crystal Scepter, it is good if you find it so bizarre or hard to believe then here is a poll.

Or better yet try it yourself and see how well it meshes with both of Shen's offensive skills.
Triforce is not a core item on Shen especially early. It is only viable if you get really fed and you have a secondary tank to soak damage with you.
This is definitely not right.
Triforce is a core item vs 2 ap comps, and to splitpush really really much easier.
